Scientific activity within the Targeted Research Project: "Metallic, Ceramic and Organic Nanomaterials: Processing" M. Leonowicz and K.J. Kurzydl/owski In November 2000 Polish State Committee for Scientific Research (KBN) launched a Targeted Research Project: "Metallic, Ceramic and Organic Nanomaterials: Processing - Structure - Properties - Applications". The structural materials, covered by the project, comprise Al - based glass ceramics, Fe alloys, ceramic matrix nanocomposites, gradient materials as well as polymer matrix nanocomposites. Among functional materials giant and colossal magnetoresistance, light emitting and spectroscopic materials, soft and hard magnetic materials and nanomaterials for batteries are studied. Novel methods of processing and compacting of nanomaterials are also researched. Basic phenomena such as mechanics of superplastic deformation of ceramics, demagnetisation processes in ferromagnetic nanomaterials, transport processes in ionic conductivity materials are investigated. Overview of the main research direction and achievements of the project are presented.
